6 for 1 transaction to win Durant + spend $190 million to sign 6 people! Faced with the offseason where the dark horse Rockets are full of imagination space, the US media gave the Rockets a complete set of lineup upgrade plans, creating a 12-man team in one go to strive for the championship.
6 for 1 Durant
Rockets get: Durant (54 million in contract left in one year);
Suns get: Dillon + Ja + Holiday + Langdale + No. 10 + 27-year Suns' first round pick.
For the Rockets, the ideal situation is to introduce Antetokounmpo or Jaylen Brown. Their star abilities and ages are more in line with the Rockets' long-term plan.
If you can't get two people, then this deal is worth considering by the Rockets and can be used as a short-term strengthening option for the championship, because Durant will perfectly solve the shortcomings of the Rockets' key ball ability in terms of ability.
Although Durant is about to turn 37 and has suffered consecutive failures with the Nets and the Suns in the past few seasons, his ability to solve the key ball hard is undoubtedly one of the best ending players in NBA history, and he has a good personal relationship with Rockets coaches such as Uduka.
However, his contract is only one year left. The good thing is that the Rockets do not need to bear greater salary pressure. The bad thing is that Durant may leave directly in a year.
Therefore, the Rockets need to be very cautious in evaluating Durant's trading value. First of all, Durant is no longer in his peak period, secondly, his contract is about to expire, and finally Durant is not the best candidate for the Rockets.
Therefore, the Rockets need to consider whether to send Jabbarry Smith Jr. in this deal, ideally, send Jaylen Green away, not Jay Jr.
190 million signings 6 people
First, the three-year, $70 million renewal of VanVleet, and the Rockets currently have its $44.9 million team option.
According to VanVleet's performance in the playoffs, especially in the last three magical and tough rebounds, he deserves a bigger contract. If the Rockets can convince him to sign a 3-year, 70 million New Testament, it will undoubtedly be a huge success.
Because according to market conditions, a three-year contract of about $100 million can allow the Rockets to keep Van Jordan for a long time.
followed by interior surprise Adams. US media suggested that the Rockets renew Adams for 40 million in three years. With their exaggerated personal rebounding performance in the playoffs and excellent performance in the double tower strategy, I believe the Rockets will keep him as much as possible this summer.
Since there are not many teams with salary space in the market, even if there are teams competing for Adams, it is likely to use a full middle class special case. Therefore, a three-year, 40 million contract can be kept by Adams.
followed by a four-year, $70 million renewal of Ethan. Considering Ethan's significant injury risks, this is an acceptable price for both parties.
I believe that a team will provide Ethan with an average salary of US$20 million, but the annual salary and total salary may not necessarily have an advantage over the Rockets, and he occupies a stable role in the Uduka system.
For Ethan, who is only 24 years old, such a contract extension is very attractive. On the one hand, it ensures his immediate financial freedom, and on the other hand, it can allow him to hit a bigger contract at the age of 27-28.
The other three contracts are all basic salary, namely Jeff Green (the locker room leader), Tate (the high-quality firefighter) and Melton.
The signing of new player Melton is undoubtedly the finishing touch. Before being injured, he once played a stable starting role in the Warriors. Because of sending Holiday away in the Durant trade, Melton will become a reliable substitute No. 1 candidate.
Upgrade 12-person grand formation
If everything goes well, the Rockets will complete the lineup upgrade through a 6-for-1 deal and 190 million signing of 6 players.
Starting: Van Vleet, Jaylen Green (ideally Jia), Amen, Durant and Shinkyung;
Substitutes: Shepard, Melton, White Devils, Ethan, Adams, Jeff Green and Tate.
Since the Rockets did not give out too many chips in the trade, in fact, after completing this series of operations, they still have the ability and space to continue to adjust the lineup in the middle of the season, such as packaging the White Devils, Shepard and the first round pick to introduce more three-point ending points.
